Yes, there are all kinds of risky things that we do that are fun and that are relatively safe if done in the right setting. I have flown AMA fast combat for over 20 years, and consider it a very dangerous sport, mostly for the spectators. CL Combat has cost the AMA a ton of money in claims and has ruined a few lives, but I am a "semi-fanatic" about it and would hate to see it go. As the power continues to increase, we are probably just a couple of horrendous accidents away from getting snuffed out by the AMA. Would I be able to understand the AMAs' position if they pulled the plug on combat? I would . I am wise enough to know when it is time to have faith in their wisdom.
